hmm, depends what gen you have, but I can tell you what ive done thus far (I'll have pics in a week or so, I'm in the process of transferring my system to the accord from my acura legend). I have eclipse 6.5"s in the front and I;ve made custom plates to fit Infinity kappa 6x9 3ways in the back of my 5th gen (stock speakers are 6.5"s). These things in and of themselves are not unique (although I am rather proud of my new speaker plates, I made them from masonite, DIY coming soon). These speakers are amplified by a 60x4 amp. The most unique part of my system is my sub box. I have two kenwood 12"s amplified by a kenwood amp 150x2. The box is isobaric. The box is very small with one 12" port with one sub facing out and the other sub mounted facing in directly on top of the first sub. The top subwoofer is run out of phase from the other. Hence, one sub pushes, and one sub pulls. This saves a lot of space and the bass is really tight but the box still gives a nice low rumble. There are people who say you lose output with this type of box but I noticed almost no difference between this box and my old two port. In fact, i think the bass is tighter now with the smaller box. Anyways, I'll post some pics soon. Good luck with your system.

AcsRcool, that sounds like a great idea.

Don't look at my "system" guys. It's just a pair of subs with an amp. haha.

I'm in the process of doing a DIY for that. It should be up in the next week or two. If you need it sooner, email me at lrdstnly@fast.net and I'll take the time to write you some directions =)

There's this one tuner shop here in town that has a box like that. I wasn't sure what the hell it was, but what you said makes complete sense. Sounds like I'm gonna have to get that, since my single 10" sub isn't enough.

Tim:

in my 1990 Accord EX, I have a Pioneer DEH6400 headunit, a Pyramid 400w amp powering my mids and highs (both pairs Pioneer, 5 1/4" up front, 6x9 in back), and a Sony Explode 760w amp powering one 10" JL Audio W3.

I have the amps mounted to a peice of wood, for now, and have it kinda wedged between my back seat and my rear strut tower bar, so if I fold down the back seat, the amps are in plain veiw. Also, it's extreemly difficult to steal them.

the sub is situated behind the passenger and driver seats, so the bass reasonates rather nicely in the interior. while it's open to theives and whatnot, nobody stolen it. yet. but like I said, it's not enough bass.

but once I get the new subs, then I worry about making my mounting job a work of art. And then I'll post some pics.

whatever you decide to buy, Just be sure that you don't get too thrifty. What you pay for is what you get.

Its a good setup man. It saves a ton of room in my trunk. Really though, you should just build it yourself and save a pile of cash. Go to home depot and get some MDF and liquid nails. You can build it for 20 bucks instead of buying one for 50.

The sound is nice and tight on it though. I'm in the process of reconstructing my system in my accord. I'll have pics up at some point so you can see. Good luck.

Oh yeah, and being able to see the back of the sub is kinda cool. It screams "check out my obnoxiously large magnets and voice coils" =)
